    Loving it so far! I’ve also found great replacements for all the US software I’ve been using. Should have done that a long time ago, there are actually amazing non fascist alternatives!

    I was looking for reddit alternatives before and didn’t pull through. Now that I did (first hour), I dont see why anyone wouldn’t “migrate”.

    Ah, and I’m using “eternity”. Reminds me of the old days before reddit turned facebook.

    99.9% of the time I’m just lurking on Reddit, but here I‘m actually getting interested in commenting again. Feels „safer“ than the other place.

    I’m surprised how quickly I’ve gotten used to it! I honestly really like the mobile app and it’s gestures, as well as the customizability.

    Although I don’t think I’ll be completely quitting reddit just yet, as some of my more niche interests don’t have communities here yet.

      Have you considered creating new communities for your niche interests? You might just find like-minded people here. :)

        I would but I simply don’t have the time or motivation to moderate and manage a community

          Well here’s the thing, if no one shows up then there’s nothing to moderate, and if people show up you can make one or several of moderators. ;) But you’ll never find out unless you create a community.

    I am happy I joined (in past 14 days or so). So far I like it a lot. In the past I tried lemmy and was confused how it works. Somehow I thought when I post something on mastodon it can also be targeted to lemmy (posts or replies), but I think I largely misunderstood and that put me off for some time. But when I found out about this sublemmy I had to try again and this time with success!

      I’m confused about this too, I’ve subscribed to the hashtag #buyeuropean on mastodon and I see posts from this community here over there? 🤔

    i do miss my niche communities on reddit, maybe i’ll start some here,other than that lemmy is a good alternative to replace the popular feed on reddit.

    Not only Lemmy i also joined Mastodon lol. I find this expirience to be refreshing, maybe thats because this platform has less users or maybe because its not under someones control but i feel as if i moved from big, overpopulated city to a countryside. Its like breathing fresh air, i feel myself free, and i love reading comments here, they look like real conversations between humans. Although im not from European Union but im your neighbor from Ukraine and i totally support this movement or its better to call an idea, i dunno. I replaced a lot of stuff already but thats only the first step. Also im really glad to be here.

    Came over from Reddit as part of plan to divest from US-based products. Happy to be here, and plan to explore. Mainly lurked over on Reddit - hope to contribute more actively over here!

    This is my first comment, just joined during the weekend. It took about half a day to get used to the lower amount of stuff and the slower pace here. And I really like it! The quality of discourse here seems so much higher and with the lower amount of posts I find that I can take my time and not get overwhelmed. Should have joined years ago :-)

    Still learning where to find stuff, and unfortunately most of “my” subreds aren’t here (yet), but it looks promising and will continue to support.
